    Hi Guys,

    I’d like to create some custom page templates.

    Do I put them in the following place?

    themename/geodirectory/geodirectory-templates/geodir-home.php

    Also how would I then assign a WordPress page to use one of these templates?

    Thanks

    It seems you want to create a page template for wordpress pages, not for GD pages.
    You need to add them to your child theme.

    Let us know if I misunderstood.

    I think you misunderstood.

    As I’m not using geodir-home.php I did the following.

    Page template created normal WP way then I copied the snippets of code I need from geodir-home.php to create a custom page

    Why not just add GD widgets to your homepage?
    What are you trying to do with your homepage? What do you want to show?

    It’s not for the homepage.

    I want a custom page which pulls in certain elements from GD

    It will be a landing page for logged in business users and will need to contain things like:

    Dashboard widget
    Add place button
    Add event button
    Upgrade/edit existing listings

    That sounds very much like the author page:
    GD > design > author
    For example:
    http://wpgeo.directory/author/john/?geodir_dashbord=true&stype=gd_place&list=favourite
    Change john with your username once you registered.

    If you post your URL and admin details, then we can have a look at your settings. That is a standard page you are trying to create.
    Also have a look here: https://wpgeodirectory.com/support/topic/author-pages-just-show-either-events-or-places/#post-26502

    Okay that looks good.

    global $current_user;
    $username = $current_user->user_login;

    /author/<?php echo $username ?>/?geodir_dashboard=true&stype=gd_place

    Thanks for your help
